A Lot of Gifts from the Most Generous Rematch Santa! - Saga, Comic Book Tattoo, and Pygmy!

Upon receiving the package I nearly fell over... The box weighed about eight pounds! It had come all the way from Australia to Canada so the weight to ship cost must have been absurd! I was already happy at the effort that my rematch santa put in. After dragging myself and my box of wonders up the stairs I opened it as fast as I could. My rematch santa again went above and beyond with what I found inside. It wasn't one book, or two... it was five books in total!

The heavy weight contender was a behemoth of a book called, 'Comic Book Tattoo Tales Inspired by Tori Amos' It's a gorgeous collection of 80 comic creators from different styles and genres. It's the perfect book to show to guest and to throw at home invaders.

My Rematch Santa also got me three volumes of a series called Saga and I absolutely love it! I've already blown through the first volume! It was also written by Brian K. Vaughan the creator of another favourite series of mine, Y: The Last Man.

The last book in the box isn't a comic book though but a written novel that goes by the name of, 'Pygmy' by Chuck Palahniuk. I've only read the first few pages but I can already tell that I'll like this book. It's about a secret agent infiltrating an American home by posing as an exchange student. The book is also written in such a way that the secret agent is recounting his tale after learning English as a second language. It really makes you pay attention to the words.

What I love most about this gift is that I've never heard of any of them before but they're absolutely perfect, especially Saga!
